Community Access Programming

Costa Mesa residents recently were asked to rate the types of programming they would most like to see on cable TV community access channels. 1,441 people responded to the survey conducted by the city's cable television committee.

Of the respondents, 91% said at least one member of their household would watch community access channels between 5 and 11 p.m., while 37% said one or more people would watch in the afternoon and 26% said someone would watch in the morning. The survey results are used by the city-appointed cable television committee in reviewing grant proposals for public access programming. The committee makes recommendations to the City Council on allocating grant money.
